Boom How do i setup a wireless access point on windows XP?

we have two computers in the house, the one downstairs has windows vista,
and the one upstairs has windows xp, anyways, my dad decided to trade me
computers since he finally decided he hates vista but i can't setup an access point
on my computer. i can't just move the router upstairs either, and we have other
things in the house that uses wifi...

how do i get it to work?

Do you have a wireless adapter in the computer that's Vista-compatible?

in the one with xp? i don't think so, but i know the vista computer has on board wireless, or at least i think it does..

[used to have a little icon in the startup bar that allowed you to scan for wifi but it's gone now..?]
